One week ago I started walking with just one crutch in my apartment and while being in small closed areas like restaurants – this is a big thing for me, my left leg is 3cm shorter due to the nasty fracture, and I have balance problems due to my (ex?) MS.

Hmmm…compared with EDSS 6.0-6.5 pre-transplant, not being able to do 10 pushups, when something like walking 15 minutes in the heat or moisture could leave me utterly exhausted for the rest of the day…you do the math.

You guys are the reason I am hoping to get in to Dr. Burt's study in December or January. How this thing has been around for all this time and hasnt been approved is beyond me. I have spoken to over a dozen folks who have had it, and aside from reading about Stella, I have heard nothing to keep me away. My fundraising is way behind where I thought it would be at this point, but Maybe they will accept me and insurance will help some.
